lyrics

So there I stood in the crowd with my heart breaking
while you said goodbye to me in a language I understand
You underestimate how intelligent I am
you treat me like those young schoolgirls whose hearts
you play with like Barbie dolls

And here I stand, my prince charming was a false alarm
Who turned love away to even up a score
And here I stand, my prince charming was a false alarm
Who turned love away to even up a score
the kind of love they write about
the kind of love we both sing about
the kind of love people would lay their lives down just to taste
the kind of love must people only dream about
it was a false alarm
it was a false alarm

All you had to do was speak
not try to manipulate me
I told you I needed honesty
And gave time to tie your loose ends up
I was on my way I just wanted things done right
No hearts should ever been broken in the crossfire
Let me spell it out
I wouldn't make myself a cheat
Was I too noble?
Are you too impatient for love?
or do you think you are so glorious thatlove should bow at your feet?

And here I stand, my prince charming was a false alarm
Who turned love away to even up a score
And here I stand, my prince charming was a false alarm
Who turned love away to even up a score
the kind of love they write about
the kind of love we both sing about
the kind of love people would lay their lives down just to taste
the kind of love must people only dream about
it was a false alarm
it was a false alarm
it was a false alarm
it was a false alarm
it was a false alarm
it was a false alarm
it was a false alarm
it was a false alarm
